My Top 5 Christmas Movie Picks

In no particular order (except number one, obviously) I wanted to share my top 5 favorite Christmas movies with you guys. I've really been in the holiday spirit lately so I'm planning on doing another one of these posts but with my favorite Christmas TV movies, a holiday house tour and of course some holiday treat recipes!

For now, though, let's get into it!

1. A Christmas Story

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie, hands down. I watch it many times every season, including the 24 hours it comes on on Christmas Eve and can recite it in its entirety. Christmas isn't Christmas to me without this movie and it's been part of my family's traditions since I can remember. I can't even tell you why I love this movie so much, it's just so funny, sweet, shows a true family dynamic and the magical feeling at Christmastime.

2. Christmas with the Kranks

I'm already a Tim Allen and Jamie Lee Curtis fan and I love them both so much in this movie. The situations they get into are hilarious and they play their roles SO well. The story is a take on The Grinch or Scrooge so of course, it has a feel good ending when the main character learns the true meaning of Christmas.

3. The Grinch

I don't know how you couldn't love this movie. The sets, the costumes, the script- everything is so whimsical and fun. I just feel so cheerful when I watch this movie and it makes me want to be a Who so badly!!

4. Four Christmases

This is a newer addition to my list, but it obviously made the list for a reason! I absolutely love Vince Vaughn, so it was basically a given that I would love this movie. However, I feel like it's a pretty unique story and is overall hilariously funny and sweet.

5. The Santa Clause

Another great Tim Allen Christmas Movie...The Santa Clause is a staple every holiday season for me. The beginning always makes me teary (if you've seen it you'll know what I'm talking about), but once again, the magic of Christmas and the North Pole comes alive and makes you feel like a kid again.

Of course, there are many other holiday movies that I love, but I wanted to narrow it down for you guys! What are your favorites??

These are pretty good picks! My top 3 are the Santa Claus, Christmas Vacation and Elf, but it's so hard to choose because so many Xmas movies put me in the holiday spirit!-Alexwww.monstermisa.blogspot.com
